Re: Popular fanfics you hate

Recently got into the Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier fandom and there's a popular, EXTREMELY long fic that I can't help but find utterly morally repugnant.

I'm not gonna harass anyone that likes that fic because it's just fic and god knows I enjoy some fucked up stuff.

It just really bothers me because it's not even PWP; quite the opposite - it seems like the fic wants us to buy that they're in love and support it and I just…can't. So I sit in my corner and quietly hate it.

Title and/or link, please?

Or if you're not comfortable with that, at least a summary?

I'm really curious about this.

Why would they not be comfortable with it?

Sometimes people don't like to bash an identified work. (I'm not really sure why, but I've known people who feel this way.)

I'm probably being too harsh on it.

But it just really didn't sit well with me.

If you liked it, I don't judge you or anything. It just kind of got under my skin (but then, a lot of things do).

I do like other stuff by the authors though

I don't really know why this one bothers me so much

ayrt

oh, it's THAT one. yeah, I made it two or three chapters before quitting because it wasn't my thing. I can't believe it got to nearly 700,000 words though, jesus christ. when your fic is longer than Les Misérables, then there's not a very good chance that I'm going to stick it out

I haven't been in X-Men fandom in a long time but there were a couple of (longer) Erik/Charles fics I couldn't stand. Like, in one of them Erik was such scum of the Earth that I couldn't even see why I was supposed to ship them together. And yes, I am into some fucked up pairings as well, but something about the way they were written together just made me go, "THIS IS NOT OKAY". I kept waiting for things to get better, but they never did.

(Don't ask me for the link or the name because it's been years and my memory is not that good.)

God yes. There was one quasi-ABO/soulbond fic in particular that made me ragequit it two or three times before I finally just skipped to the last chapter so I could see if Erik would get his comeupance or not (he... sorta did, but not really).
